I have downloaded a Docbook that is in xml format.
I wish to convert it into sgml format.
Are there any tool for this?
I'm not aware of one. The first thing I'd try is to run the file
through osgmlnorm (part of the OpenSP/Jade package):
$ osgmlnorm -wxml xml.dec yourfile.xml
I did try and got error message at the and of process:
$ osgmlnorm -wxml xml.dec manual.xml
osgmlnorm:E: cannot find "xml.dec"; tried "xml.dec",
"/usr/local/share/sgml/xml.dec", "/usr/share/sgml/xml.dec"
You need a copy of the SGML Declaration for XML to run SP.
There are links to various copies of it in the XML FAQ at
http://xml.silmaril.ie/validity.html#sgmldec
When I ask for a tool that can convert a xml file to sgml, then I thought
for a free software tool. Unfortunately XMetal and Arbortext are not
free softwares. My system is a GNU/Linux system. :)
Then you should already have a copy of the SGML Declaration for XML on
your disk, but it may be named something other than xml.dec. My Ubuntu
system seems to have something called
/usr/share/xml/declaration/xml.decl as well as
/usr/share/xml/declaration/xml.dcl (both also in
/usr/share/sgml/declaration) so just rerun wuth
$ osgmlnorm -wxml xml.dcl yourfile.xml
